In the Philippines, after the high water

The floodwaters in the Philippines are starting to recede now that Typhoon Ketsana (locally-known as Typhoon Ondoy) has passed through, but the situation in Manila and the surrounding areas is still dire. The city is still recovering as 20 feet of floodwater begins to drain away and the government struggles to cope with 450,000 displaced citizens.

We talk with Stephen Anderson, head of the World Food Program in the Philippines, who talks to us from Manila, and Bing Branigan, Filipina American community liaison for National Federation of Filipino American Associations, who is leaving for Manila on Wednesday to assist in relief effort.
